Pecan Tassies

Delicious and easy. I had these Pecan Tassies at a Christmas party last nite. With all of the sweets on the table, this was, by far, the best thing there! The lady who made them said they are very easy. It's 8am and I've already put the ingredients on my grocery list. Merry Christmas from Trish
